Day after day ♪ ♪

3:53

Day after day ♪ Hey

3:57

guys, it's Kayla. I'm so happy you're

3:59

able. to join us today because we

4:01

are all still so directionally challenged. We thought

4:03

we'd have it all figured out by the

4:06

time we were in our 30s, but surprise,

4:09

we don't, and that's okay.

4:11

Today, I might be biased,

4:13

but today we are having one of my favorite

4:15

guests on. His name is Tanner

4:18

Noblin. He is a Canadian-born actor and

4:20

model. He is currently starring as Dr.

4:22

John Finn Finnegan on CBS's Daytime, Soap

4:25

Opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. You've

4:27

also seen him in all the Liberty

4:29

Mutual commercials. And most

4:31

importantly, his most important job, he's my

4:34

husband. And he is back by popular

4:36

demand. You guys have DM'd me asking to have him

4:38

back on. And I thought we might as well do

4:40

it. It's the holiday season. Let's go for it. So

4:43

without further ado, here is one

4:45

of my favorite episodes so far

4:47

with Tanner Noblin. D-Wax Man, D-Wax Man. And

4:51

he is back by popular demand. So

4:53

many of you have DM'd me asking

4:55

when he's coming back on. So here

4:57

he is, my

4:59

amazing husband, Tanner Noblin.

5:02

And it's the holiday edition. Babe,

5:04

you know, the truth is so many people ask

5:06

how we do it all, right?

5:08

I mean, we're both working actors. Our social

5:10

calendar is bananas. We actually have to

5:12

schedule in time to relax

5:15

as a family. And, you know,

5:17

I think being parents in

5:19

the entertainment industry is difficult. And

5:22

it's different from any other industry.

5:25

You know, most of our appointments are

5:27

last minute. Most jobs take you away

5:29

from home. It's so

5:31

hard to create stability within the home

5:33

when both of our schedules are anything

5:36

but we seem to do it. So, you know,

5:38

so far so good, right?

5:40

Yeah, I mean, we

5:42

are good. I think it's a little bit of

5:44

burning at both ends sometimes, but we're trying to

5:46

do it. Yeah, I think we're doing it. In

5:49

any industry, I think it can be a

5:52

juggle. It's like whatever's scheduled

5:54

your social, like, well, our social life is

5:56

important to us too. We have,

5:58

you know, amazing friends and great. relationships

6:01

that we want to continue to nurture

6:03

and family. And then you also want

6:05

to be as great a parent as

6:07

you can be. And

6:10

then also keep your job, get

6:12

a job and continue your career. It's

6:14

a lot. We're finding that out, honey. I'm happy to

6:17

be doing it with you two. No, I

6:19

think, but you know what? I'm happy to be doing it with

6:21

you two, babe. And you know, the truth is, I think it's

6:25

really hard to be a good parent. You and I

6:27

talk about this all the time, how you can

6:29

kind of phone it in and have a screen in your hand

6:31

and sort of be on your phone and also be in the

6:33

same room as your kid. Or you can

6:35

get down on the ground with them and build that castle

6:38

or build that, you know, whatever it

6:40

is they're doing and really be saturated

6:42

within them. And you and I choose

6:44

to be that kind of parent. And I think that's

6:46

what makes it so hard. Yeah, I think you're

6:48

right. I mean, it's not necessarily the length of

6:50

time or even like the event is. And if

6:53

you can give 100% of

6:55

your attention to what you're doing, if it's your

6:57

job, okay, you're on job. If you're

7:00

on kids, you're on kids and it's hard because

7:02

they overlap and email comes in and you're like,

7:04

oh gosh, I gotta send that or whatnot. And

7:06

so it is tricky. But yeah, if it's even

7:08

just 20 minutes, like Poppy and I, we've

7:10

started just organically this little magnet tiles, you know,

7:12

the little castles you can build and right before

7:15

her bed, that's kind of our daddy daughter time.

7:17

And it's only 20 minutes, but I look forward

7:19

to it. And I think she does too. And

7:21

so trying to be able to do that sort

7:23

of stuff, I don't know, we're trying it out.

7:26

It's working right now. It's really true though, when

7:28

you think about, you know, bringing it into

7:30

the holidays, because when you think about your

7:32

memories as a kid of the holidays, you

7:34

don't remember what gift you really opened. You

7:36

remember, you know, how many marshmallows you got

7:38

in your hot chocolate and how

7:40

much time dad and mom spent, you

7:43

know, teaching you how to ride that new bike. And

7:45

it's more the memories and the ideas

7:47

and the time spent together reading stories,

7:49

sitting by the fire, all of that,

7:51

you know, it's not, it's not necessarily

7:53

what you get, it is the time

7:55

spent, which is good. Oh,

7:57

so you don't want anything for Christmas? You're okay. Well,

8:00

just some time with me. That's good. Well...

8:04

Dennis, are you still on the line, honey? The

8:06

study that you mentioned it, I do have my list

8:08

ready to go for you. No, no, I don't.

8:12

I have two things on

8:14

a list and I have

8:16

no idea if it's going to be for you or for the

8:18

family, sort of. Our family does

8:21

a Secret Santa. Maybe it'll be for that. I don't

8:23

know. I'm

8:25

trying to be very efficient this year.

8:27

I've already sent you messages of what

8:29

I think we should get the kids.

8:32

I don't think we read it yet. No,

8:34

I thought I saw it. Oh,

8:36

you did? Okay. Can I say

8:38

what it was? No. Okay,

8:40

wait. Of course she doesn't listen to this.

8:42

No. I want

8:44

to know how do you think that we

8:47

can make our

8:49

calendar throughout the holidays more

8:51

enjoyable, while still staying

8:54

mask-oriented and accomplishing what it is we have

8:56

to do? Because I think the holidays by

8:58

nature are supposed to be so fun and

9:00

relaxing, right? Yeah, and making something happy. Yes,

9:03

and they're the exact opposite. In fact, everyone's so frantic. That's

9:07

why I'm trying. This episode

9:09

airs in December, but we're

9:11

recording this before Thanksgiving.

9:14

And so when we talk about trying to get presents,

9:17

we're trying this far ahead to stay ahead of everything

9:19

so that we can enjoy our time together. What

9:22

do you think we can do? And for

9:24

others listening that feel that same way,

9:26

that are really overwhelmed with the idea

9:28

of the holidays and all the parties and everything? Well, I

9:30

think we're both people

9:33

pleasers, I think, by nature. And so that's why we're

9:36

like, yes, yes, we'll go to that. And

9:38

then by the end of it, we're burnt out,

9:40

and we're not the best versions of ourselves or

9:43

what we are. So I think it's picking and

9:45

choosing, and we're learning to do that, I

9:47

think, as we get a little bit older. But

9:50

those are hard conversations. Yeah, I mean, we travel

9:52

to Canada, usually, and have two

9:54

Christmases because, you know, Grandma loves the Christmases,

9:56

and they're both amazing times, but it is

9:58

a lot on our own. the family to

10:00

travel and have one later. Like we'll do

10:03

the usually like the 27th or something in

10:05

Canada and spend time with both families. And

10:07

it is both enjoyable and the kids get a lot out of

10:09

it. But yeah, it's tricky. I

10:12

don't know. I love that. No, I

10:14

will. Hello, 10, your guests like

10:16

give something. Let's put

10:18

them all. Okay, here's the plan. All right. I figured

10:21

it all out. We just

10:23

get one house that's huge. And

10:25

we put everyone in there together for the day. I

10:27

don't know. It's tricky. But

10:29

I think you got to take care of

10:31

the family first and ourselves first and our

10:33

kids as well being first before we spread

10:36

ourselves too thin. I think that's important. Yeah,

10:38

that's really smart. Yeah. And you are right. You brought

10:41

up that point how we do a California Christmas and

10:43

we also do a Canadian Christmas. Both are

10:45

wildly fun. And both are

10:47

wildly different. You know, for those who

10:50

don't know Tanner's from Canada and he's

10:52

from a very rural part of Canada.

10:54

It's Saskatchewan. Paradise sells Saskatchewan, which is

10:56

a town of 500 people. His

10:58

family has a cabin on a lake. It is

11:00

so remote. You see Northern lights all the time.

11:02

I mean, you can hear a train in the

11:04

distance. It's, you know, growing up in Long Beach,

11:07

California, I did puzzles that were

11:09

of places like this and dreamed of

11:11

spending holidays in places like this. And

11:13

now I get to do both, which

11:15

is really fun. I remember when I took you there

11:17

the first time and you I put you in that Bella

11:19

Calava and all that was, you know, the eye hole to

11:21

eye hole look like you're robbing a bank. You're

11:24

like, yeah, I really have to wear this

11:26

outside. I was like, yes, you will get

11:29

frostbite. Like it can't be that cold. You

11:31

just so inappropriate for you. Is

11:33

it like New York? I'm like, no,

11:35

no, not at all. You're

11:37

basically snowboarding, but you're really

11:39

just going to the pharmacy.

11:42

That's what you wear. Is Bella Calava the

11:44

actual name for that? I don't think so. It's a

11:47

face mask, right? Or is that I'd

11:49

never heard. I'd never heard the

11:52

term Bella Calava until I

11:54

met your family. So maybe I don't know. But anyways,

11:56

he told me to wear the warmest

11:58

clothes I had. They still weren't warm. enough and

12:01

we were in a massive storm and I had

12:03

to wear a full face mask just to go

12:05

out to the grocery store. It was minus 40 degrees. It

12:08

was freezing. Minus 40. I

12:10

think I'm going to fetch you on that. Mel

your favorite memories of

16:22

growing up in Canada for Christmas? And

16:24

then now, what's your take

16:26

on the California Christmas that we do

16:29

now that we have kids? And what

16:31

are some of your favorites from both? Well, no,

16:33

it's like you said, it's so different. I

16:35

remember having our first Christmas here and you

16:38

were so in the spirit. I was like,

16:40

because I think coming from Canada, it's just around you

16:43

all the time, the smell. And

16:45

like you said, it looked like a puzzle. And

16:47

so you're, oh, it's Christmas time. When you say

16:49

here, you mean Los Angeles. And you

16:51

really kind of got to get it going

16:53

here. And I remember loving that about you

16:55

where like, we had to get a real

16:57

Christmas tree. And I was like, for

16:59

some reason, I don't know, maybe you have

17:01

some listeners that are Canadian, but for some reason, we

17:04

had a fake Christmas tree. And you're

17:06

like, wait, why you're in Canada? Why didn't you write to

17:08

your mom? I don't know. Everyone

17:10

kind of did. I don't know if that's just

17:12

like a Canadian thing. All those Hallmark movies are

17:15

phony. Okay, there are no Christmas farms in Saskatchewan.

17:17

So there's, I don't know. I was just saying,

17:19

so I remember getting a real Christmas tree here

17:21

and the smell of it, you

17:24

know, getting us a spirit and then

17:26

really decorating because in the warmer climate,

17:28

yeah, it could be 80 degrees on

17:31

on Christmas. And you're like, well, this doesn't really feel like

17:33

Santa should have wheels on the sleigh. What's

17:35

going on here? You know, so making

17:37

it happen, I think is all all a testament to

17:39

you. And it definitely gets us in the spirit here.

17:41

And I feel like we have Christmas here. Not it

17:43

could be it is it is typically

17:45

80 degrees in Los Angeles on

17:48

Christmas and my family and I laugh

17:50

all the time because most of the time the weather

17:52

is unseasonably hot.

17:54

And we're just used to that.

17:57

And and you're right, you

17:59

do have to create the spirit, you have

18:01

to make it. And I like

18:03

the smell of the real pine tree

18:05

in the house. So I want the

18:07

real Christmas tree. Listen, I don't knock

18:09

anyone that has a fake Christmas tree.

18:11

I get it. They are messy. There's

18:13

sap everywhere. But for me, that's one

18:15

of the things that's worth it. All

18:17

the effort, all the work. Even before

18:19

I had a really hunky, awesome husband

18:21

to take the tree out, I did

18:23

it myself because I wanted to

18:26

have that smell of the tree. And I wonder.

18:28

You're very good at the lights. Thank you. Yes,

18:30

you're very good at the lights. The fake

18:32

ones always kind of had them on there. Lights were big.

18:34

Although I do hang the lights on the house. Yeah.

18:37

You do. You can give me some. I'm just

18:39

looking for some credit here, a little pump my

18:44

tires moment. We always hung the lights. And

18:46

in minus 40 in Canada, that was never

18:48

fun. Like in Christmas vacation where the dad

18:50

pulls out the knot, that was my dad.

18:52

And so we had to hold the

18:54

ladder. And you would be. That show is very accurate,

18:56

by the way. I

18:59

think hanging lights in nice,

19:01

pommy, breezy weather is much different

19:03

than minus 40, for sure. So

19:07

that's definitely something that you appreciate

19:09

about our California Christmas, is hanging

19:11

lights in the weather that way. I'm wondering,

19:13

is it too cold where you're from to

19:15

even chop a tree down? I

19:17

wonder if that's why everyone has. Is that a dumb

19:19

question? No, I think you're

19:22

right in the aspect of I think it's too cold

19:24

for everyone to go out and chop a tree. And

19:27

they're like, this is too much. I don't know if

19:29

we're going to go for all this. Let's just

19:31

get this one in the box. It's perfect. That

19:33

is beautiful. I mean, my mom's tree was always

19:36

beautiful. Yeah. I mean, one

19:38

of my favorite things about growing up

19:41

here in California was how much my

19:43

parents were in the spirit of the

19:45

holidays. And we celebrate Christmas. Your family

19:47

celebrates Christmas. But I just remember loving

19:50

all of the time spent putting

19:54

the decorations up and music at Christmas Music every

19:56

morning. You're right. You really do have to make it

19:58

here. Your mom loves it.

20:00

To my mother, I heard her over the phone

20:03

with you. She already has the Christmas carols going

20:05

in the building. She does. You're

20:07

right. You're right. She does. But

20:09

what I love so much about your family

20:11

is the simplicity of Christmas, too. It's like

20:13

the idea that you really don't have to

20:15

do much, and it already feels like the

20:17

holidays. If something's baking

20:19

in the oven, and you have a

20:21

cup of something warm in your hand,

20:23

hot chocolate, coffee, whatever it is, it

20:25

feels like Christmas instantaneously, because it is

20:28

so cold outside, and all the lights

20:30

listen up the snow. And so it's

20:32

just a different form of celebration.

20:34

And so I feel so lucky,

20:36

honestly, getting to be married

20:38

to you and experience both. And I feel

20:41

grateful that our kids get to experience both,

20:43

too, because you guys have

20:45

those snowmobiles, and we take those out

20:47

in the snow and kind of get

20:49

lost out there in the snowy mountains.

20:51

And that's its own adventure. Yeah,

20:53

no, it's really. Are you

20:56

saying you want to go this year? Is that what you're

20:58

seeing? We're going

21:00

to spread ourselves thin. All right, I think we're going,

21:02

guys. All right, mom, call my mom. I know she's

21:04

dying now. No,

21:06

it is magical. And we are very lucky to

21:08

be able to share both experiences that way, because

21:10

they're both different and both beautiful in their own

21:12

way. Yeah. Do you hate Christmas

21:14

with my family here? Be honest. It's OK.

21:18

No, it is. It's tricky.

21:20

I did, like I said, I had to get myself in

21:22

the spirit. And so I'm on board with the

21:24

early Christmas music and

21:26

creating it. I've just been able to

21:29

have the lazier approach all these years because it's been in

21:31

my face. But I've been here long enough now. I love

21:33

Christmas with your family. It sounds amazing. I mean, we've been

21:35

together 13 years. Yeah. And

21:37

the special holiday drinks and the special. Yeah,

21:40

your mom makes everything very, very special. So

21:42

we're lucky to have two celebratory

21:44

families to do all this stuff with. And

21:46

Christmas has changed so much now having the

21:49

kids. And it's really for them now.

21:51

So it's like, what experience do they want to get?

21:54

And we get to play Santa. It's the best. How

21:57

has having kids changed

21:59

the whole thing? for you. Oh

22:01

completely. I think you could probably agree. I mean we get to

22:03

be Santa now and

22:05

it's so fun being able to set

22:07

up the tour. That's like one of my, I think that

22:10

Christmas Eve I was like okay Christmas Eve it's all about

22:12

Christmas but now Christmas Eve is my favorite part because you

22:14

and I get to sit out there and you

22:16

know put the bike out and like

22:19

do stupid little reindeer things if we

22:21

want to do the prints or like

22:23

whatever whatever. We're going to do

22:25

it a trick or a gift but that's now

22:27

become like one of my favorite moments

22:29

is having Christmas here you know

22:32

having Santa come to our house and then

22:34

and celebrate joy and the true meaning of

22:36

Christmas and being able to give that to

22:38

the kids here and then you guys have always

22:40

read the night before Christmas I was like one

22:42

of your family traditions I think and so we

22:44

do that which is really fun and

22:47

then you know and then we go celebrate with

22:49

the extended family and your dad gets to dress

22:51

up as Santa and do an appearance which is

22:54

always because this accent changes a little bit every

22:56

year which is always interesting I don't know what

22:58

he's gonna bring in but it's always a

23:00

different version and then I like it when he cracks remember

23:03

when his beard came down a little bit but the dog

23:05

jumped on his lap and he was giving

23:07

more attention to his dog where I think

23:09

he loves more than his grandkids sometimes but

23:11

that's okay. For those listening what Tanner is

23:13

referring to is my dad he is not

23:15

an actor but I feel like this is

23:18

his acting debut where he he dresses up

23:20

like Santa every year for the grandkids and

23:22

does a full-on rings the bell

23:24

the jingle bells outside the front door and

23:26

then my mom goes oh my gosh what

23:29

is that and all the grandkids run to

23:31

the door and Santa came by to say

23:33

Merry Christmas on Christmas Eve and my dad

23:35

is so into it and you're right he

23:38

has some weird accent I don't know why

23:40

it's almost like British or something

23:42

or he's like suddenly become

23:44

an actor. It's really

23:47

funny. I'm running out for milk

23:49

I'll do it. You're like kind

23:52

of like mentioned that so

23:54

hopefully one of the kids here and then and then

23:56

there's been the real performances when he comes back in

23:58

and they'll have to explain how he missed Santa. Santa

24:00

again for like the fourth year in a

24:02

row. And he was like, what every time?

24:05

I go out for one second, this

24:07

guy shows up, man. Okay, all right.

24:10

It's a really fun age we have right now to be able to

24:12

do that sort of stuff. So I say we enjoy it while we

24:14

can. I know and it is short-lived.

24:17

So yeah, we definitely aren't doing

24:19

that. I think so much of the holidays too for

24:21

me is about food. And even when

24:23

we were looking for our house, when we were shopping

24:25

for houses, it was really important to me to have

24:27

a formal dining room with enough space to

24:29

have a giant dining room with an

24:31

extended table where we can all just

24:33

sit around and for Thanksgiving, you know,

24:35

you and I host a lot of

24:37

the holidays because we truly genuinely love

24:39

to host and have people in our

24:41

house. And so I just, to

24:44

me, the food is such a big part of

24:46

the holidays and I've, you know, it's a lot

24:48

of pressure. Your mom's a really good cook. My

24:50

mom's a really good cook. And- Oh,

24:53

you can hang out. You can, you hold your own

24:55

there. Come on. Thank you. I'm just

24:57

waiting for that compliment. Okay, guys. No, you

24:59

don't have to. To your, well,

25:02

I think it is a version of your mom, but

25:04

by far my favorite meal is the

25:07

lasagna. Like whatever tradition that, you

25:09

guys have that before, right? I

25:11

think it's usually Christmas-y. Yes, but that's the easiest

25:13

thing to make. That's hilarious. No, it's not. Whatever

25:16

you do in there, you've ruined lasagna. Like I

25:18

used to go to the restaurant, I'd be like,

25:20

oh, I'm gonna have a lasagna tonight. Let's get

25:22

a, I don't even want it anymore because I'm

25:24

gonna be disappointed because I'd rather just have yours.

25:28

So you make it the day before it sits in the fridge. There's

25:30

a whole process. You don't just whip this together. Get out of here.

25:32

You're right. Yes, you're right. I do

25:34

use the acid from the tomatoes to

25:37

help the pasta start to break down.

25:39

You're right, absolutely. But it is, it's

25:41

very good. But that is hilarious to

25:43

me. But what, you know, your mom

25:45

makes really good stuffing for her turkeys.

25:47

And like the funniest story

25:49

about this is that we did

25:52

Christmas with my family and then Christmas with

25:55

your family. And we did three nights each because

25:57

it's very important to both our families that we spend the exact same

25:59

amount of time. time with both of them. And

26:01

so and I was laughing so hard because

26:03

for all three nights both our moms served

26:06

the exact same thing three nights in a

26:08

row. My mom did ham and potatoes and

26:10

then your mom the first night did ham

26:12

and potatoes and then my mom did it

26:15

was the exact same menu and we were

26:17

both cracking. Very similar.

26:21

Okay but I do have to ask you

26:23

about the Bold and the Beautiful the show

26:25

you're on because I know fans that are

26:27

listening right now will definitely

26:29

want to know what's

26:31

coming up and they'd be wildly disappointed if I

26:33

didn't ask you about what's happening. So I know

26:35

now I know as your wife it's really fun

26:37

for me because we can sort

26:40

of talk about the storyline

26:42

that's coming up and we're both actors so it's

26:44

fun for me to kind of like pack it

26:46

through with you and see what's going on. And

26:48

you guys have a pretty surprising

26:50

storyline that's never really happened in the history of

26:52

the show before that's coming on this holiday season

26:54

and I know you can't give away a lot

26:57

of it but at least give us some tidbits.

27:00

Well it's just a pivotal moment I think

27:02

in the I think we're we're we're I

27:04

can't give anything away I'll get in so

27:06

much trouble but I think it's what yeah

27:09

a little trouble. Yeah the entire family is I

27:11

could you know

27:17

we're gonna see where what happens here. I

27:19

think I can say yeah we know this Eric,

27:22

Eric Forrester is very sick and he's the patriarch

27:24

of the family he is having

27:26

a really great celebration but he

27:28

hasn't shared anyone that he has an illness

27:31

and so how of course it's a soap

27:33

so everyone knows but he doesn't

27:35

know that they know and so it's it's really

27:37

touching and when I was reading it I was

27:39

getting even like a little choked up at it

27:42

because he wants to go out with a big

27:44

party and celebrate his

27:46

life and yeah it's just it's

27:48

a really magical storyline and Finn

27:51

is a part of it and and a lot

27:53

of the extended cast I mean they had some

27:55

cast come back for this kind of I don't

27:57

want to I don't know I can't say to you

27:59

about that. But anyway, I'm giving

28:01

you a very generic answer,

28:03

but it's kind of what's

28:05

going on. I mean, it's going to get really interesting.

28:08

I think people are going to be really surprised on

28:11

where it goes. I was. I know that. Hey guys, we're going

28:13

30:04

we're back. Yeah, and that's so nice as an

30:06

actor to read an episode and be so surprised about

30:09

where the show's going. And that doesn't

30:11

always happen. Usually you know, and so that's exciting.

30:13

And I know as a viewer, it's really fun

30:15

to have old characters come back. And so even

30:17

just knowing that old characters are going to come

30:19

back, even as an actor, I remember going back

30:21

to the Amparadarius multiple times as one of those

30:23

characters. It's fun as an actor to go back

30:25

to a show, you know, and speaking

30:28

of going back to shows, it was also

30:30

very fun for me to come back to

30:33

the Bold and the Beautiful and be your

30:35

intimacy double during the pandemic. So

30:37

that was another really fun thing. And if you ever

30:39

need another intimacy double, I'm here. I'm

30:41

on standby. Yeah, I mean, you set the

30:43

tone, I think, for the entire relationship of Finn

30:46

and Steffi because they had never kissed before

30:48

and you've laid one on me like no

30:50

other. And I was like, oh, that's

30:52

how it's done. That's how it's done. Jacqueline

30:55

McKenna's woods. So just like,

30:57

oh, she's setting the tone. Now

31:00

it was so fun to have you there to go in reminisce.

31:03

We're like, you're like, oh my gosh,

31:05

it's still so similar, but different and

31:08

the set and the studio and whatnot.

31:10

And so yeah, it was

31:12

really special. Thank you for doing that, by the way, because

31:14

I don't know what we would have done without she had

31:16

just months of intense eye staring, I

31:18

guess. I don't know because it got to a

31:21

point where like these two characters have to feel

31:23

the touch at some point. Well,

31:25

it kind of reminds me of when we first started

31:27

dating because it took you five dates to kiss me.

31:29

So it just seems very normal. Oh,

31:31

right. I

31:33

was I was playing the long game. I

31:36

was playing the long game. And

31:38

then that I said I had no game. And

31:41

I think I was nervous. I don't know.

31:43

Yeah. Like, come on, Tanner. What's the matter

31:45

with you? It was you guys. I hate

31:47

great. Tanner hates the story so much. I

31:50

wish you could see the video right now. He just got

31:52

really uncomfortable. He's so funny. It

31:54

took him so long to kiss me.

31:57

And I genuinely thought it was a

31:59

platonic relationship. And I remember talking to my friends

32:01

about it and saying I think that he

32:03

just likes me as a friend for the longest

32:05

time I mean five dates felt like a very

32:07

long time to even just get a peck nowadays

32:09

people do a lot of like You know one

32:12

night stands not in our case Definitely not for

32:14

all of our moms that are listening to this

32:16

episode. I think I knew I

32:18

liked you Very much and I

32:20

was scared to ruin anything. Maybe that's it.

32:23

I'm gonna go with that answer No, that's

32:25

a great answer and actually pan because you

32:28

know a lot of some of our most

32:30

popular episodes on this podcast are ones

32:33

about dating and finding you know

32:35

the one and finding you know

32:37

Someone to share life with because

32:39

it's not just about attraction It's

32:41

not just about you know lust

32:43

and love and it is

32:45

truly about forming a partnership Through

32:48

life right and how do you know? When

32:51

you found the one and so from a

32:53

male perspective Can you

32:55

share any insight into you know some females that

32:58

may be listening that are really trying to I

33:00

guess I'm not I'm not quite sure what my question is

33:02

but how to date nowadays and

33:05

be real with someone and And

33:08

date efficiently so that you can find the

33:11

one I Just knew that

33:13

and it's such a Lame

33:15

answer to know but I just knew I would

33:17

because we were relatively young young like 20 25

33:21

Yeah, 25. I remember I told you and

33:23

you remind me of this you're like oh Right

33:28

now I just

33:30

knew that you were a definite keeper and

33:32

the law and exactly what I've

33:35

had been wanting in a partner and I

33:39

Remember just being surprised I think by like

33:41

oh, I'm 25 and I know a

33:43

lot of people are fine that younger But that's why those relationships

33:45

with us You just kind of know and I just you were

33:47

you everything you checked all the boxes and I think that's why

33:50

I didn't want To kiss you because I didn't want to ruin

33:52

what was going on. I was nervous about

33:54

it We took a slow which I think was

33:56

it was good. Yeah. No, I do too. Yeah,

33:59

I know it's to hear that but

34:01

I was very open to finding someone like

34:03

that and I made myself available for that

34:05

which was probably pretty natural at that time

34:07

because it was 25 and pretty naive

34:10

but yeah I just knew. I was like oh

34:12

that's her. Let's not screw this up. Let's make

34:14

sure we don't kiss her for five days. Well

34:19

whatever you did worked that's for sure. But

34:21

yeah maybe that's it. Maybe don't kiss until five

34:24

days. Maybe I've had the answer this whole time.

34:27

That's the advice. No

34:29

because I think it's really

34:31

difficult to have a relationship

34:34

nowadays especially when there's constantly the

34:36

possibility of someone sliding into the

34:38

DMs or you know there's always

34:41

more out there. There was a time when it was

34:43

very rare when you could just you

34:46

know see other people and access other

34:48

people and now with the internet and

34:50

with social media and everything. We're

34:53

wildly accessible 24-7 all the time and it's you

34:56

know really hard to keep a good honest relationship

34:59

going and so it's hard work and if I'm

35:01

being honest with you our relationship is harder than

35:03

I thought it would be once we had kids

35:05

because you bring two

35:07

new people into the family and it

35:09

just becomes a completely different experience

35:11

and dynamic and so much more is

35:14

needed from each of us that

35:16

we have so much less to give to

35:18

each other and it's not

35:20

easy but I wake up

35:22

every day feeling so lucky to

35:24

have what we have you know and even on

35:26

the hard days and there are a lot of

35:28

hard days. I hate it when people act

35:30

like it's so easy all the time. Yeah

35:33

and we I guess we yeah

35:35

because we we met before dating apps and

35:37

and Instagram really so you're

35:39

right we never had to deal

35:41

with that sort of stuff and which so I

35:43

could see how that could be really difficult but

35:45

yeah having kids definitely changes that dynamic a lot

35:47

and then the other thing you have to cut

35:49

into we're talking about time and then making sure

35:52

there's for social life for friends and our kids

35:54

being parents and our family and then also each

35:56

other a lot of times that gets shoved all

35:58

the way to the end of the day. because

36:00

you start taking that for granted and

36:02

you got to make sure that you nurture that. I mean, I think

36:05

we have to work on that all the time

36:07

because it's easier to just give yourself to others

36:10

all the time and you work out, you end

36:12

up having this partnership and then like, wait, I

36:14

need to continue to date Kayla. We need

36:17

to continue to keep that foundation strong because

36:19

otherwise everything else collapses. And so, and that's

36:21

also hard to do because like you said,

36:23

you get running around doing other things and

36:26

you think that it's contributing to the

36:29

relationship that you have with your wife or your husband,

36:32

but it's actually all you need to spend time

36:34

with that person. That's the foundation that really contributes

36:36

the most. Does that make sense? Yeah. Well, I

36:38

think it's also different for every person, right? Because I

36:40

think time for us is definitely a

36:42

love language, but I, you know, other people, it

36:44

may not be as much, but yeah, I think

36:47

understanding each other and knowing what we need. And

36:49

yeah, that was a really good answer. I've

36:51

been really excited to have you on the

36:53

podcast, not only because people have asked, but

36:56

you're obviously one of my favorite people and

36:58

one of my favorite guests. And

37:00

as your wife, it's been so fun to watch you

37:02

grow and watch you on the show every day. And

37:04

you know, it's been tough. We've been through his actors,

37:07

we've been through a pandemic and a writer's strike

37:09

and an actor's strike. And you have kept working

37:11

through all of that. You've had to cross a

37:13

picket line every day to work.

37:15

And you know, there's a lot that comes

37:17

with that. And yeah, I just think you've

37:20

handled it really well. And also the Liberty

37:22

Mutual stuff back, he's back, baby. We're so

37:24

happy. I want to get Jones a onesie

37:26

that says Liberty Bibberty so badly. Maybe that'll

37:28

be a Christmas present. No,

37:32

you're so sweet, but you're there. You're, it's

37:34

us in that. I mean, you've contributed

37:36

to every ounce of success that I've

37:38

had. Like that's the truth. We're better

37:41

together. Yeah. I'm so proud of

37:43

you with this podcast and the conversations that you

37:45

have and the topics that you cover blow me

37:47

away all the time. And so I'm a regular

37:49

listener and I'm very proud of you. And I'm

37:52

excited that I made the cut to come back,

37:54

but popular demand, apparently. Okay. I love

37:57

that. It's

37:59

true. You've got lots

38:01

of fans. So listen to my

38:03

ego store now. I'm like, listen guys. All

38:06

right. Don't I'll keep

38:08

that in check. Don't worry. We're not worried about

38:10

that. Well,

38:13

thank you for joining me today and you

38:15

know, during our favorite time of year, the

38:18

holidays, do you have any last advice you

38:20

want to give anyone or

38:22

anything that you can share? Because you know,

38:24

the holidays can be amazing, but they can

38:26

also be lonely and bring up a lot

38:29

of emotion for people good and bad. And

38:31

there's, I just think everything is magnified

38:33

no matter what it is you're going through and

38:35

so any advice you can give or

38:37

love you can share. I

38:40

think take care of yourself over the holidays.

38:43

If that means less time with

38:45

others, if that means more time, check in with yourself

38:47

and it's also the end of the year. And

38:49

so you start to, you know, naturally,

38:51

I think you have

38:54

some sort of, you

38:56

know, goals that you might've set in the year and if they haven't been,

38:58

cause it's just be nice to

39:00

yourself, taking the real meaning of

39:02

the holidays, what that means to

39:04

you and do that to

39:06

the max. And I think that's the best

39:08

way to get the most fulfillment out of

39:10

your, out of your holiday season. Now, that's

39:12

a tough conversation sometimes, but just do you,

39:15

you know? Yeah. Yeah. That's so true. Well,

39:17

I love you. Thank you for coming on.

39:19

You're the best. And for

39:21

those, we don't have a visual right now,

39:23

but for those that can, can't

39:25

see him, he is currently sitting

39:27

in Poppy's bedroom behind her closet with

39:30

all of her butterflies behind him. I

39:33

might take it. I take all my zooms in here and

39:35

from now on, it's really festive. I like this. I

39:38

have to borrow her room. She's like, what? I'm like,

39:40

just let me borrow it for a second. You

39:42

look adorable. You're such a good dad and such

39:44

a good husband. Thanks for coming on and love

39:46

you lots. You're a great mom too.

39:48

Thank you so much. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye.

39:52

I'm a good wife too, right? I said that, didn't

39:54

I? You said mom. Joking.

39:58

We'll end it with that. Okay,

40:04

I just need to specify the reason I was his

40:06

intimacy double was because it was during

40:10

COVID and no one, all

40:12

actors had to stay six feet

40:14

apart. No one could have intimate

40:16

scenes without someone who they were

40:18

already in. That might

40:20

be weird, intimate with, I'm not going to say that.

40:22

Hang on. Okay, I guess

40:24

that is what it is without someone they

40:26

were already intimate with. So I went in

40:29

as his intimacy double and played

40:32

the role of his wife just

40:34

from the back during COVID and got paid

40:36

to kiss my husband and never in my

40:39

life did I think that that would be

40:41

a possibility. So it was a pretty nice

40:44

way to go through

40:46

the pandemic, which was already so bleak. You know, we're

40:48

going to take the little wins and that was definitely

40:51

a win for our family. But it

40:53

means so much to me when you, when I

40:55

get DMs asking to have him on, obviously I'm

40:57

his biggest fan and now you guys are as

40:59

well. And that means so much to me. He's

41:02

one of the good ones. And so I hope you

41:04

guys enjoyed today's episode as much as I

41:06

did. We have another great one coming for

41:08

you next week. Until then, take

41:11

care. Directionally
